How to Disconnect from a Server or File Share

 

Windows:

  1. Open a command prompt by either:
    • Click Start > Programs > Accessories > Command prompt
      - or -
    • Click Start > Run and type "cmd" (without the quotes) and click OK
  2. Type " net use " and press enter to view your active SMB connections.
  3. Type " net use /delete \\servername\sharename " and press enter.
    (Where "servername\sharename" is the name of the server and share point to which you are connected.)
    For example: " net use /delete \\mlmlapps\windows "
  4. Type " net use " again to verify that the desired connection has been deleted.
